Major notes to consider for the future on 18/01/2023

From today' session with Kimberly, I wanted to consider these notes offer the meeting as a reminder on my blog to go on from. Overall I am going to keep my rig placements but improve on it so the character can have smoother movement and not collapse due to wanting to be ambitious with their movements.

-maya add more edge loops around the waist

-maya add blending deformed so shoulder doesn't collapse when arm moves

-maya stop top chest skin weight so it stops slightly below middle chest joint and bring waist joint slightly above middle chest joint

 -maya change joint size

-maya pose editor

-maya export skin weight map

-maya ribbon mouth 

-maya blend shapes

Reacting to the animation, I'm quite proud of how far I've come from the previz. During the previz stage, I was unaware of Substance Painter and how much it could do for me. I was also unaware of After Effects, as I prioritized Adobe Premiere above it.

As displayed in my blog posts by me, I did have to look at Youtube for help, and I was honest with that to help me improve on unfamiliar equipment.
